abstract = {In recent years, significant changes have produced in the organisational culture of the public
sector, bringing accountability and sustainability to the foreground and highlighting the definition of
corporate social responsibility (CSR) in public administrations. In this respect, state-owned enterprises
(SOEs) are well placed to provide an important example to other companies and society and could be
of crucial importance in the promotion and development of socially responsible policies. With these
considerations in mind, we analyse the state of research into the practice of CSR within SOEs, seeking
to identify the main theoretical and empirical contributions made in this respect, that it will be
a useful base for studies in the future. Our results show that research attention has been paid to this
issue but significantly less than the large body of work carried out in this respect in the private sector.
Most of the studies we identify are descriptive, although a growing body of explanatory research
is now appearing. Few studies have been made of the impact of CSR practices on users and this
constitutes a possible area for research in the future. Our review shows that research into CSR in
SOEs is particularly significant in countries where the state has a strong presence in these companies.},
